Starmer welcomes new Labour MPs to Parliament

Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer swore in his party’s two newest MPs to Parliament on Monday.

Gen Kitchen and Damien Egan won victories in Wellingborough and Kingswood last week, when they toppled Conservative majorities of more than 10,000.

Praising the two MPs, Mr Starmer said: “They both overturned incredible majorities, the like of which we wouldn’t normally be able to overturn, making history before they’d even been sworn in as Members of Parliament, a fantastic achievement." It comes as shadow health secretary Wes Streeting revealed the party is considering its options on an SNP-led Commons vote on a ceasefire in Gaza later this week.

Trump’s Shocking Ultimatum Brings Israel, Hamas Back to Negotiating Table| Will Hamas Free Hostages?

Trump’s unexpected intervention has pushed Israel and Hamas back to the negotiating table. The intense pressure from Trump’s ultimatum, calling for a ceasefire extension and the release of hostages, has led both sides to resume high-stakes talks in Doha, Qatar. Israel has sent a delegation with the hope of securing the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander and others held by Hamas, in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire extension. While Israel seeks the safe return of hostages, Hamas is demanding further concessions, including the release of 24 presumed-living hostages and a permanent end to the war. #TrumpIsraelHamasWar #IsraelHamasCeasefire #HamasIsraelConflict #IsraelGazaWar #CeasefireDeal #HamasTruce #IsraelHostageDeal #GazaCeasefire #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelHamasWarUpdate #HamasIsraelCeasefire #IsraelGazaConflict #TruceNegotiations #HostageCrisis #PeaceTalks Also Read Trump Issues Last Warning To Hamas To Release All Remaining Hostages Held In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-issues-last-warning-to-hamas-to-release-all-remaining-hostages-held-in-gaza-4087647.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Halts Supply Entry To Gaza, Warns Of Further Action If Hamas Rejects Ceasefire Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-halts-supply-entry-to-gaza-warns-of-further-action-if-hamas-rejects-ceasefire-deal-4084551.html?ref=DMDesc Israel: Speeding Vehicle Rams Pedestrians, Injures Several In 'Suspected Terror Attack' In Haifa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-speeding-vehicle-rams-pedestrians-injures-several-in-suspected-terror-attack-in-haifa-4082487.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.336~GR.124~
